Scripture

Revelation 19

11 Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war. 12 His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself. 13 He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses. 15 From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress. 16 On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords.

Observation

What picture of Jesus do you have in your mind when you think of Him? He is no longer a babe in a manger. He is no longer a meek carpenter’s Son. This passage shows us what Jesus now looks like and how He will look when He comes again. Are you ready to meet this Jesus?

The first time He came to earth He came as a suffering servant, but the next time He returns He will return as a conquering King. Only those whose names are written in the book of life will be spared destruction.

Application

I look forward to the coming of Jesus Christ.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I am ready for Jesus to return. In fact, I would love it if He would come today. I know that He is only waiting for more and more to people to repent and turn to Him for salvation. It is because of Your patience that You continue to wait so that others can find salvation in You. I pray that many will find Christ this year through the ministry of our church. Help us to be faithful in sharing the Good News with many people this year and I pray that You give them spiritual understanding so that they can be saved.
